Yes, vision changes can be part of Parkinson's disease. Some people experience:

- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Reduced ability to perceive color and contrast
- Sensitivity to light

These changes can sometimes be linked to hallucinations, particularly seeing things in the corner of the eye (peripheral vision). Visual hallucinations are actually the most common type of hallucination in Parkinson's. People often report seeing animals, people, or shadows — especially in low light or after sundown.

It's always a good idea to bring up any vision changes with your doctor, as some symptoms may be manageable with medication adjustments or other strategies.
